Last year’s talks

From Rory Stewart to dozens of others, every year we upload most speaker talks to youtube.

  • Q1) When I click “apply now” on my phone, the page goes blank.

    Ans) The sign-up form can take up to 10 seconds to load. If that fails, please try it on a different browser.

  • Ans) There will be a basic online section for this year’s conference (like last year, some talks will be livestreamed). We think most of the value will come to those who attend in person.
